THE SECOND STORY
' OF THE TEMPLE
The Daily Nebraska is not ready
at this time to propose a definite
plan for a Student Union. The ac
tivities included in the various un
ions all over the country, the needs
of the various chools as compared
ith our own, our present and prospec
tive means, are all deserving of 'con
sideration, and are too complicated to
permit quick action. It is improbable
that a complete and definite plan can
be agreed, upon this year.
But one thing is certain: The Tem
ple building can be turned over to
student activities -within a short time.
We are at present in dire need of
a place to hold University Mixers.
They Gymnasium and Memorial hall
combined make up a large barn that
serves properly for size, but that is
objectional to sense of beauty. We
are forced to use this combination,
not because it is the proper place,
but because it is all we have.
The Temple furnishes an adequate
opportunity to remedy this evil. The
second floor of the building, with the
exception of the part occupied by the
theatre, can be converted into a large
hall. This would be capable of tak
ing care of the Mixer crowds, and
could even be used for class dances.
All that stands in the way of this is
the seeming desire of the university
to obtain revenue from this building,
given originally for the benefit of the
students.
As the first step in the establish
ment of a union at Nebraska, there
fore, we suggest converting the sec
ond story of the Temple into a large
hall for the accomodation of univer
sity crowds.
FORUM
Editor Nebraskan:
The editorial in Monday's issue of
The- Nebraskan regarding the Tem
ple will no doubt strike a responsive
chord in many of the students and
faculty. Ostensibly a place where
universities activities might meet,
this building has often been usurped
by outside organizations. It has
seemed on several occasions that
preference was given these outsiders
over those for whose benefit Rocke
feller made his" donation.
This condition was aptly Illustrat
ed three years ago when the inter
collegiate debaters had to be content
with the inferior accomodations of
the chapel, because some 'city organi
zation had been permitted, some six
months previously, to reserve the
theatre for the night on which was
held our debate with the University
of Illinois.
There is certainly a need for a gen
uine student meeting place.

During his courtship, a man spends
all his time telling his girl how un
worthy he is of her; and afterwards
he spends all his time proving It

SOUR GRAPES
Isn't It funny,- how all the studes,
Return after vacation, all dressed up

With "splffy" new suits and foxy new

It's enough to give us old rustys the

WHEN A GUY FEELS LONELY
When a guy feels lonely,
When a guy feels blue;

Go and get your cap, boy,
Go and get ft quick;
Start out for the country,
And walk till the dusk isjthlck.
There you'll find the cure, boy,
If you're feelln' blue,
For you find yourself, boy.
And It's only the good that's true.
